Researchers at the Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine have revealed that alterations in fetal microglia resulting from maternal inflammation could contribute towards the onset of ...

Therefore, process motility is thought to play a vital role in the microglia's physiological functions. This research sought to investigate how microglial process motility changes in developmental ...

Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain. Increasingly, they are recognized as important mediators of normal neurophysiology, particularly during early development. Here we demonstrate ...

Irvine, Calif., March 23, 2022 — The molecular processes caused by a TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2) gene mutation in the brain’s microglia immune cells can increase the risk ...

It’s hard to overstate how crucial microglia are to brain health. These humble immune cells quietly patrol the central nervous system, clearing debris, pruning synapses, and maintaining myelin. But ...

Cardiff Metropolitan University provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. We know that the body’s immune system is important for keeping everything in check and protecting us. But a lot of ...

Of the dozens of loci genome-wide association studies have linked to Alzheimer’s, most are mysterious to scientists. How do they contribute to disease? Much work focuses on changes in expression of ...
